Articulating Boom Lifts for Sale – New and Used Articulating Lifts

Articulating boom lifts, also known as knuckle boom lifts, are versatile aerial work platforms designed to provide safe access to elevated and hard-to-reach work areas. Unlike scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts feature multiple hinged boom sections that allow the platform to move both vertically and horizontally, making them ideal for working around obstacles.

This category features new and used articulating boom lifts for sale from equipment dealers and private sellers. Listings include electric and diesel-powered models suitable for indoor maintenance, outdoor construction, industrial applications, utilities, and facility management. Buyers can compare technical specifications, working heights, platform capacities, operating hours, and overall machine condition before making a purchase.

What is an articulating boom lift?

An articulating boom lift is a mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) equipped with a jointed boom that allows operators to reach locations that cannot be accessed using straight boom lifts or scissor lifts. The articulated sections provide excellent flexibility when working above roofs, machinery, pipelines, trees, or other obstacles.

Working heights typically range from around 10 metres to more than 40 metres, depending on the model and manufacturer.

Types of articulating boom lifts

Several types of articulating boom lifts are available for different working environments, including:

• Electric articulating boom lifts
• Diesel articulating boom lifts
• Hybrid articulating boom lifts
• Rough terrain articulating boom lifts
• Compact indoor articulating lifts
• Four-wheel drive articulating boom lifts

Choosing the right model depends on the required working height, outreach, terrain conditions, and lifting capacity.

Common applications

Articulating boom lifts are widely used for:

• Building construction
• Industrial maintenance
• Warehouse maintenance
• Electrical installation
• HVAC installation
• Steel structure work
• Bridge maintenance
• Telecommunications
• Tree care
• Window cleaning
• Sign installation
• Facility management

Their ability to reach over obstacles makes them one of the most flexible aerial work platforms available.

Choosing an articulating boom lift

Before buying a new or used articulating boom lift, it is recommended to compare:

• Maximum working height
• Horizontal outreach
• Platform height
• Platform capacity
• Machine width
• Overall weight
• Power source
• Four-wheel drive capability
• Year of manufacture
• Operating hours
